Subject:smelly rear heater
From:Allan Streib
Date:Fri, 28 Nov 2008 17:57:22 -0500

This summer I had taken apart my rear heater because of a serious odor
problem.  I rigged up a pressure test and found that the core seemed OK
but the junction between the valve and the core showed some bubbles.  I
replaced the O-ring, and cleaned everything thoroughly.

I still have some odor from the rear heater.  Not as bad as it was, not
overpowering, but definitely noticeable.

I have some Subaru coolant conditioner -- anyone think that would help
with this issue?
